Title: 1985 Hutch Pro Racer ***FINISHED***
Post by: Retrodan72 on January 04, 2015, 09:00 PM
Back in March last year, Andy (DTTDB) rolled up to the Chester ride on his '85 Hutch, it was a bike he'd spent 4 years meticulously collecting the correct parts, and having some amazing resto work on certain parts, to add to the details which were reflected in the completed build, a build that throughout the day at Chester, I continued to drool over.

I mentioned to Andy that it would be one of my dream builds, luckily for me, Andy remembered this conversation, and had decided that he was going to sell the Hutch to fund, and make room for his grail, a VDC Changa.

So, I got a message off Andy late May, offering me the Hutch, and the deal was struck - thanks so much again Andy.  :4_17_5:

It arrived, and I removed it from the box and packaging, and just stared at it, it really is gorgeous.

(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/Retrodan72/410A87BE-D9B4-4771-A9F1-68502B7CD689.jpg) (http://s499.photobucket.com/user/Retrodan72/media/410A87BE-D9B4-4771-A9F1-68502B7CD689.jpg.html)

I had toyed with the idea of mounting it in a glass case, and fixing it to the wall in the man cave, but that's not what they're made for, so I've decided to get it built.

Obviously, with the baby coming along, I didn't really have a lot of time to even think about what parts to start collecting for it. As most of you know, as with most of my builds, there will be a mix of OG and NRP's, to keep to my budget.

The first part I got, is one of Clint's jam buttie seat clamps

(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/Retrodan72/D9F343EB-2A66-49B1-8A25-DE43C955FD9B.jpg) (http://s499.photobucket.com/user/Retrodan72/media/D9F343EB-2A66-49B1-8A25-DE43C955FD9B.jpg.html)

Andy had thrown in the Tange headset with the deal, which is chrome, so I've decided to go with all chrome, or polished parts.

Then I had a bit of a minor set-back, as Steve announced that there weren't going to be any more Hutch pads made, so after a chat with Andy, I decided that I'd get a blank chrome look set from Aussie eBay, and will get Del to make some cut vinyl decals for them

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/rr359/Retrodan72/E058CAA3-E151-4A85-9C00-533C0B82D6B8.png) (http://s499.photobucket.com/user/Retrodan72/media/E058CAA3-E151-4A85-9C00-533C0B82D6B8.png.html)

This weekend though has been very productive with my part search. I've got a Suntour Powerstem from Dazza, and today have scored a chrome 44t Sugino and repop Aerospeed power disc

(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr359/Retrodan72/39A7753B-1D9D-41A5-A045-A576851E1270.jpg) (http://s499.photobucket.com/user/Retrodan72/media/39A7753B-1D9D-41A5-A045-A576851E1270.jpg.html)

The rest of the parts I would like to find for this are:

nice chrome race bars (Hsin Lung - if poss)
Bubble font A'me Tri's
DC Tech 3
DC MX1000
nice chrome seat post (poss Nitto layback)
Kashi Aero
Comp III's
Polished 7x type rims
Asahi spokes
Polished Suzue hubs
Tange BB
Tange headlock
Sugino 1 piece crank
Izumi chain
Shimano SX pedals

That thought had crossed my mind, good advice, at least then I can see if it's worth the effort of getting decals off Del, or not??

Nice one Dan  :daumenhoch: Am pleased to see that it'll be built up. Will be nice to see it out again on one of the rides. The Tange headset nut that I included with the sale was a Hutch stamped one (in case you weren't aware). Worth a few quid on it's own - it might help to fund some of the other parts!

Sounds like it's going to come out great  :4_17_5:

I remember the convo we had at Radleigh Andy (shortly before Shady spat ale on Joff). You were telling me that you'd taken a repop Aerospeed power disc and sent it for rechroming before you'd even fitted it, I thought you were mad, but now I've seen one myself, I know where you're coming from, Hutch have scrimped a little there.

I'm going to send mine to be polished, just to get a slightly nicer finish to it.

Bling eroo a chrome Hutch,  that's a nice frame set.. I really wanted this when I saw it at Chester it's mint.

So Starsky when you rolling it out, get a roof rack on the Torino... :4_17_5:
Title: Re: 1985 Hutch Pro Racer
Post by: dancetothedrummersbeat on January 11, 2015, 09:02 PM
The powerdisc is at the chromers as we speak. It had been stripped and polished at Chester. I tried to get it chromed over the summer, but it didn't take. I've sent it to Hockleys now, so hopefully it can be chrome plated ok. Funnily, the 'cheap' porkchop alloy powerdisc for a 1 piece crank has come out perfect!

Hi fella, lovely Hutch that, gonna be sweet!

I've got a black kashi aero (repop from natsukashi) you can have for £35 if you're interested? Pretty much mint condition and has been on my 82 Ripper until this week when a lovely NOS Black MX turned up at my door....    :smitten:

Thanks for the kind words guys, much appreciated.  :angel:

So I've hit a few snags this week, when momentum had been moving along nicely.  :-[

The guy that I got the 7x copy rims from in Oz, who's been listing the rims for ages on eBay, has run out of silver, so after no joy with the wanted section on here, I decided to chat with Jay (Anodiser Chick) and she can strip a coloured set for me, and her guy will polish them up for me, so I've got a gold set going directly to Jay all the way from Oz.  :)

I also had no joy with a rear MX1000, so went for a copy, and the same story with grips, so went for NRP's, a shame really as I thought that a Hutch should at least be given some OG bits, but if they ain't there, then I'm not freezing a build to sit around and wait for them to show up.

I also didn't have a nice set of BB cups to shine up, only dulled ones. Fortunately, Andy (DTTDB) stepped in and sent me some through the post, thanks again Andy.  :4_17_5:
Title: Re: 1985 Hutch Pro Racer

No probs Dan, hope they were alright for you. I do have another set (that you're welcome to also), with slightly thicker edges that will be more visible, but i'm not sure how well they would polish up... Let me know if you want them anyway..

The ones you've sent were polished up and fitted this evening Andy, they look great mate, thank you.  :4_17_5:

I also polished up the Suzue hubs tonight too, what with Jay getting my rims polished and blingy hubs, I'm feeling that I may need to go the whole hog and polish all 72 spokes now.  ::)

No honestly Andy, if push comes to shove, I'll put my black shiny sides on, but thanks anyway Brother.  :4_17_5:

I'm actually waiting for the return of the power disc too. I decided that I'd like to polish it, to a mirror finish, so asked Joff's expert advice, turns out that it is already chrome plated, but I only realised this once I'd sent it to Joff, and he'd confirmed it. But Joff's kindly posted it to Niphos in Crewe, who will strip, polish and rechrome it, but it's whether they can return it to me in time for Chester.  :daumenhoch:

Fingers crossed Dan. Mine was a bitch to chrome - so much so that they had to give up after 3 attempts. It's now at Hockleys - we'll see if they can work their magic on it (but they've had it since mid December). Hope it arrives in time  :daumenhoch:

Update on this:

I got a message off Jay to say that she'd stripped and polished my gold rims, sadly the postman tried to deliver them while I was out, so I'm picking them up from the depot on the way to work, and dropping them off at my LBS with the spokes and hubs for lacing and truing.

On the plus side though, it's given me enough time to hand polish the 72 194mm Asahi stainless steel spokes....never again     Thumbs down

It's all my budget will allow mate, but where I've saved money on some bits, it's allowed me to spend a little more elsewhere, rechroming the power disc, for example.  :daumenhoch:

So I collected the rims this morning from the Royal Mail Depot and dropped them off at the bike shop.

I didn't even remove all the packaging that Jay had wrapped them in, but couldn't resist a few teaser shots.

The first pic is the listing shot from eBay.

Dan, I like what you are doing with this but most of all, I like the way you are keeping it 'real', if you get my drift. Most of us could never afford the real expensive parts back then and watching this come together is like when we built our bikes as kids  :daumenhoch:

Keep up the good work buddy. It will look just as good as a loaded Hutch but at a fraction of the cost  :coolsmiley:

It will be ready tomorrow Joff, so time will tell. All I know is, I'd they pull it off, then they'll be getting more work off the Northern RADsters.  :daumenhoch:

Great thread.
I did the spoke reno thing and it is mind-blowingly boring, but when you get the wheels back you appreciate them more for the work that went into them.  :)
Looking forward to seeing this finished.  :daumenhoch:

Fingers crossed they do a good job Dan. Mine's still at the chromers (not that i really need it for a build now anyway, as i've had a change of direction with the cranks)

I've had a message on FB from Niphos, to say it's done Andy, fingers crossed that's it's been done to a good standard. I'm picking it up tomorrow along with the wheels.

I've also taken the Tange BB and Sugino crank from my GT Pro for this as they're both rechromed items, so will add to the effect better.

Just picked the power disc up from the chromers, great result, as you can see. Came at a price though.

Cheers Ant, the mintyness of the power disc shows up the not so good chrome work on the Sugino chainring.

Sadly, this project and getting it done for Chester in 2 days, has fallen at the final fence due to my wheel builder not getting around to doing the wheels yet, and won't be able to until Saturday.

Just the chain and brake to sort tomorrow.
